Pan Jinlian looked at it for a while, the words between the two were intermittent, and the atmosphere gradually became colder, she saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassing, and after refilling a cup of tea for Cao Jun, she turned around and entered the inner room.

Cao Jun held the teacup nervously and kept silently, "Second Brother Wu, Second Brother Wu, I don't have the slightest disrespect for my sister-in-law, don't misunderstand me." ”

Just when Cao Jun was about to sneak away, Pan Jinlian appeared in front of Cao Jun generously with a plate of needles and threads.

"My uncle went to work alone, and he had no family around him, I saw that my uncle didn't have a few changes of clothes, and he was idle anyway, so let the slave family measure the size of his uncle, and he would make a few changes of clothes in the future."

After speaking, he picked up the string and measured it around Cao Jun's waist.

For the first time, the two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing, and Cao Jun's heart suddenly fell into the air.

His body stiffened, his arms raised, motionless like a marionette at the mercy of Pan Jinlian, and he kept silently chanting in his mouth, "Second Brother Wu, Second Brother Wu, don't think about it too much, just measure me." ”

This moment seems like a long time.

finally finished measuring the size, Pan Jinlian saw Cao Jun's sweaty nervous appearance, and couldn't help but quip: "Uncle, what's wrong?" But feeling unwell? ”

Cao Jun shook his head again and again: "It's just that the weather is hot and dry, and there is no discomfort in the body." ”

Pan Jinlian asked again: "Uncle has been in Yanggu County for a few days, I don't know where to rest?" ”

"Rest in the county dormitory."

Pan Jinlian's eyebrows jumped, and she couldn't help but persuade: "That'...... Uncle might as well move home to live together, there is some hot soup and hot food in the morning and evening, and the slave family will arrange it properly, so as not to let the uncle be left out in the cold. ”

"This ......"

The cold sweat on Cao Jun's forehead broke out faster.

A heart almost rose to the throat, and for the first time I felt that women were so terrible.

His heart was beating rapidly, racking his brains to think about how to refuse.

Unexpectedly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Wu Da coincidentally rushed in with a flat pole.

He saw that Cao Jun and Pan Jinlian were in the front hall, and said with a simple smile: "Third uncle, do you know that when I came back just now, the princess grabbed me crying and begged me to help her intercede, saying that she had caused a lawsuit in the Yamen, and now she was found by someone. ”

Before Cao Jun could speak, Pan Jinlian took the initiative to call for Cao Jun and said: "Uncle has only been in office for a few days, and now before he has a firm foothold, someone came to the door to intercede, and Hugh is going to spoil the uncle's big business." ”

Wu Da touched the back of his head, nodded again and again, and said, "Exactly, but I have a lot of trouble, don't blame the third uncle." ”

Cao Jun saw that Wang Po had taken the bait, and intended to elevate the status of Wuda in front of Pan Jinlian, so he waved his hand disapprerovingly and said: "Some small things, not worth mentioning, since they are neighbors, they can help if they can, so as not to embarrass the eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

The family stayed together and talked about it, and then talked about the façade, Wu Da and Pan Jinlian's expressions were full of yearning, and their tones became excited.

The two wanted to keep Cao Jun to eat and drink, but the latter dared to stay any longer, so they found a good luck by the way.

After leaving from the Wu family, the time was just past noon, Cao Jun remembered yesterday's plan, and hurriedly went back to the county government to find the county magistrate to take a leave, went straight to the post station after going out, rented a fast horse, and ran to the wine store, and asked someone to make a pot of good wine with a gourd, and tied it around his waist.

After finding someone to ask for the path, he went straight to Mengzhou Shilipo.

At this time, it is the beginning of November, and it is the time of autumn and coolness.

Cao Jun rode alone, fast horses, opened the gourd and poured a mouthful when he was thirsty, ate a bite of cooked beef when he was hungry, and found someone to inquire at every fork in the road.

Stop-and-go, a hundred miles, until the sun is in the west.

In the last distance, there was no longer half of the people who asked for directions.

Aside from the dense trees and abrupt rocks, there was only a winding dirt road paved in a large messy green jungle, and there was not a single person halfway through.

"Could it be that we are going the wrong way?"

Cao Jun was also a little undecided.

He jumped off his mount, tied his horse to a dry trunk, and let it snort in place in search of the grass to eat, while he climbed to the side of the slope to watch.

The surrounding scenery is finally open.

At this time, it was already dusk, and a touch of the slanting sun on the horizon hung on the side of the hillside, half of the red sun had been buried below the horizon, and there was a red fiery scene everywhere in the eyes.

It's going to get dark soon.

Cao Jun became more and more anxious in his heart.

By the light before the sun set, he saw a large downhill not far ahead, and at the end of the downhill there was a three-way junction, and he could vaguely see several thatched houses built on the fork of the road on one side of the three-way junction.

Cao Jun is also not sure if this is the cross slope in the original book.

Even if you find the wrong place, you should find a place to spend the night at this time, so as not to sleep on the mountain.

He led the horses and walked forward for another half a mile, and was halfway down the great downhill when suddenly a middle-aged man with a flat pole came over, and looked at his dress, like a woodcutter in the mountains.

Cao Jun asked politely: "This old brother, is there a cross slope ahead?" ”

When the middle-aged man saw that Cao Jun was dressed as a publicist, his face sank at the moment, and he didn't answer, but turned his head and staggered past Cao Jun without saying a word.

Cao Jun squinted at the man's back and muttered for a while, touched the wine gourd on his waist, and led the horse to continue to hurry.

Finally, when the sky was still bright, I rushed to the thatched house.

I saw this thatched house, from left to right, there were about a dozen, built on one side of the dirt slope, in front of the house there was a willow tree with cut branches, and a curtain with the word "wine" written on it.

"This should be it."

Cao Jun nodded quietly, he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, found a place to tie his horse, and walked over with a wine gourd.

After walking a few steps, he found that one side of the wine shop had been opened, and on the threshold sat a woman, who was dressed in a loose green gauze shirt, with a yellow hairpin on her head, and some unknown wild flowers on her sideburns.

Cao Jun saw that the woman had a thick waist and thick bones, and although she had a face of rouge and lead powder, she opened her chest and showed a fierce face, and she looked like a master who was not easy to mess with.

Immediately settled in his heart, "It should be here." ”

The woman also saw Cao Jun, leaned against the door with her arms crossed, and pretended to be polite to greet her: "Yo, I never thought that it was getting dark, and there were guests coming." ”

"This guest, since you have arrived, please come in and rest, our family has good wine and meat, if you want to take the dim sum to eat on the road, there are also big steamed buns, all of them have big skin and meat, the filling is delicious, and satisfaction is guaranteed."

Cao Jun saw that her eyes stayed on her clothes and the wine gourd in her hand for a moment, and seemed to be suspicious, so he immediately pretended to be an ordinary drinker and laughed, twisted the wine gourd and poured a sip of wine, and followed him into the wine shop unsuspectingly.

There were several pairs of cypress tables and stools in the wine shop, and Cao Jun randomly found one by the door to sit down, patted the table and shouted: "Boss, just bring good wine and meat, and count the money for you when you finish eating." ”

"Come on, guest, our family still has a big steamed bun that has just come out of the cage."

"There are both steamed buns and more than a dozen, and if you can't finish eating, you can pack them and take them away."
